Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Prince William might be leaving the Duchess of Cambridge for 10 weeks as he gets set to study at Cambridge University.

The young Prince will study agricultural management in a bid to prepare himself for a future role overseeing the Duchy of Cornwall estate.

The Duke of Cambridge, who begins the tailor-made course in the city early next week, will be a fulltime student until mid-March, Kensington Palace said.

William, 31, will be given a private place to stay in Cambridge that is not affiliated to any of the university’s colleges but aides say he might decide to commute from London for much of the week, depending on his timetable.

“I’m sure he’ll go home at weekends. There’s a chance he might decide to commute daily,“ said one senior royal aide.

“We’ll just have to see how it works out. He might miss the Duchess and George so much that he decides to commute from London every day.”
